Abstract
Since February 2005, we have shifted from the paper based medical records to EMR. Owing to this shift, now we can easily refer to the content of the paper based medical records. We scanned the paper based medical records and digitized them. We took the way to store them into our own ‘Karute’ image server. We had already done this scanning work for three years before this shift and now we have finished digitizing about 30,000 paper based medical records. The digitized paper based medical records are delivered by WEB(the URL includes patient ID). So it has come to be able to refer to them on EMR. When we want the old data, it is needless for us to carry the paper based medical records with us. Now we have finished digitizing about 50,000 active paper based medical records and we are proceeding the work to digitize about 200,000 paper based medical records stocked in our hospital.
